Rank the governors you have lived under

[Hope For A New Era]

Only including governors I lived under after becoming politically aware:

1. Jay Nixon (D-MO, lackluster but also the only Democrat)

2. John Kasich (R-OH, a Republican with a spine, pretty hard to find nowadays)
3. Gary Herbert (R-UT, pretty inoffensive I guess)


4. Mike Parson (R-MO, was pretty inoffensive until this summer)







5. Eric Greitens (R-MO, do I really need an explanation?)

1. Robert Orr
2. Evan Bayh
3. Frank O’Bannon

Did you live on the state line or something?  Like that tourist trap South of the Border?

Minister-Presidents of Saarland:

1. Peter Müller (CDU/1999-2011): he thankfully was brave enough to implement the coal phase-out in spite of knowing that this would cost him tons of votes and was actually scandal-free, plus he ended the Governorship of Oskar Lafontaine's protegee
2. Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU/2011-2018): apart from some scandals and statements (same-sex marriage being equivalent to incest/polygamy) relatively decent performance as Governor, nice in person
3. Tobias Hans (CDU/since 2018): doesn't seem authentic, tries to pander to everyone (especially Markus Söder), his Covid-19 curfew executive order was actually overridden by the Highest Court

[It’s so Joever]

1. Bill Ritter
Huge FF, I wish more Democrats held his policy views.
2. Mark Warner
Good governor, decent senator. Also seems like a chill guy. FF
3. John Hickenlooper
A bit too libertarian for my tastes, but a smart guy and he has good policy overall. He goes up if he completely destroys the current snake in Senate.


4. Mike Easley
Yes he is technically a felon, but it wasn’t that bad of a crime. Also not bad policy.









5. Jared Polis
 This absolute train wreck is the worst (Democratic) Governor I have had. Calling him a Democrat is being nice, he is a libertarian who is too scared to admit it. A pro-weed moneysucker who honestly doesn’t deserve to go within 200 feet of the State capitol. If the GOP is not so Trumpist in 2022 (unlikely) and I still live in Colorado (also unlikely) I will be sure to vote him out.




(Funny enough, while 60% of the Senators I have lived under have been Republicans, I have somehow managed to just barely avoid any GOP governor despite living in pre-2008 VA and NC)

1. Doug Burgum (R-ND)
2. John Kitzhaber (D-OR)
